THE State Council, China's Cabinet, has approved the building of a canal to replenish water supplies on the South-North Water Diversion project, the project management said yesterday.
The project will link two major tributaries of the Yangtze River.
The canal's construction will begin by the end of March, said Guo Zhigao, an official with the South-North Water Diversion Project Construction Administration of Hubei Province.
The project is designed to divert water from the water-rich south to the dry north.
The central route of the project is designed to divert water from Danjiangkou Reservoir on Hanjiang River to north China cities.
The Hanjiang River will only have one-third of its average runoff after the water is diverted. Guo said the canal project will bring water from Jingjiang River, another Yangtze tributary, to Hanjiang.
